When I first looked at the title God, Are You There? I thought this would be a daily devotional for anyone questioning the existence and love of God; however, after reading the introduction and ensuing chapters, I discovered that this is a very in-depth study of the Gospel of John, which would eventually answer my question: "How is the title related to the content?"
The book is divided into thirteen weeks of five daily studies from this wonderful gospel. It is designed as an inductive study to give the reader the opportunity to ask the "Who," "What," "When," "Where," and "How" of each chapter in John, and how the parts relate to each other. The author urges the use of symbols and/or colored pencils to mark words and their synonyms. It takes time to read the passages, mark them appropriately and answer the questions for each day's reading. The entire book of John is printed in the appendix as an "Observation Worksheet," making it easy for the student to stay on course; no need to have a separate Bible in hand.
A leader's guide is also located in the appendix, which is helpful in making this a group effort as well, although the aforementioned setup is perfect for individual study.
Completing this study will be an incentive to research the other 19 books in the "New Inductive Study Series" listed on the very last page, all meant to instill how to discover truth for yourself.  Sharon I. Rideout, Christian Book Previews.com
